What is Bonemat?
Bonemat is a freeware that maps on a Finite Element mesh bone elastic properties derived from Computed Tomography images.
Bonemat v3.2 can import CT images and FE models, interactively visualise them, and export the updated FE mesh once bone properties have been mapped. From this 3.2 version, Bonemat supports import/export to and from both Ansys and Abaqus, perhaps the two most used commercial FE packages.
Bonemat is mainly developed at Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli in Bologna, Italy, with the active collaboration of other researchers (see People and Collaborate).
Bonemat has been presented in a few Publications in the past, and is being used in many studies.
